A year ago when we booked another San Juan port cruise I decided to do as you are doing and look around for a walking tour. But I didn’t find options that I thought were ideal for us (for example I didn’t need to see both forts set a long distance from one another) and we wanted to mix in some shopping areas and some amazing food finds that I had run across in my research. It seemed to take forever to compile it and lay it out, but I finally pulled together a tour with all we wanted via google maps (I called it the “three amigos take San Juan” 😂). I don’t know that it would fit your needs, but I am happy to share it. Have a great time! It is so great of you to share your information, may I have a copy, my email is mingr at Comcast dot net Thanks so much!

dianedebuda Posted September 15, 2019 #59 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Please add me as a receiver of your walking tour efforts: diane dot acap at mindspring dot com. Hubby is limited in walking distances without rest stops. I've read that OSJ has a lot of cobblestones and is mostly sloped which will take him more time. And as I understand, there are a number of steps at El Morro. We'll be taking a cane seat for rest breaks, but did you find in your research/experience the areas that will be the toughest for him so we can break the tour up into seqments? Sure hope the trolley will be operational in Feb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure hope the trolley will be operational in Feb. It is relatively short in distance, but as you note it has aspects of it that make it tougher than it would be otherwise. Read the info that I added above about the map and that should help - but at any point you can just to another section and pick up there or skip over small or large sections! The map as I discuss has layers and one of those also allows for a shorter ending of the tour should you desire (a downhill one). If you look at the map you can see there are several places you can reduce the walk (such as cutting out going to the bar which is up closer to the top side of the island). Finally, the stops for food/drink and in parks gives a lot of opportunity to stop and rest (while still enjoy San Juan!). I hope that you will find the tour helpful 🙂 Lynn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I will get that emailed off to you today (although it will come from an email from Google!). I hope it will help and be something that at least gives you some interesting out-of-the-box options for the day 🙂 Lynn My husband & I are going out of San Juan in December - I would love to have a copy of your tour also. Please send it to sywycoff at gmail.com Did you by chance use a tour operator or just the walking tour. We have about 4-1/2 hours to kill before getting on the ship - don't think us old folks can walk around for 4-1/2 hours. But we certainly will try if we have to. Thanks in advance.

This is one that I have created on my own. I could not find any existing ones that were remotely what I wanted (as I also wanted cultural spots, retail shops, and food/drink venues listed and wanted to avoid seriously boring stops!). I don't know what I was thinking, it ended up taking me many days and too many hours. But I think it will be worth it (it's the laying it out and getting the lines right and all the detail about the stops that just becomes insane). So this isn't through a tour company in any way - it's via Google Maps and can be downloaded and used even without any phone or wifi connectivity. It is quite flexible in that you can ignore the parts you wish to ignore, cut it short as you need to (since one never knows what a specific day will bring health or weather wise!). I will send this to you and I hope it will add something to your enjoyment of Old San Juan 🙂 Lynn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, liked the popup of restaurants. It may be a considerable walk for us, but I think it's doable if we stop and rest frequently. Thanks again.

Take breaks and cut it short if you need to (the optional shorter ending is in the layers menu - 3 parts to it; but you can make your own optional ending by just skipping parts, small or large!). @familyoutdoors I will get that off to you as soon as I return from work 😊 Do I assume the second part of that email is gmail?

We all share this map and someone changing it changes it for all of us - and wipes out parts of it that I may not be able to recover and that's so much work. I just discovered that someone had removed some items in the map (not just turned them off, I mean DELETED locations, including most of the food places that were so carefully vetted) so that means the the entire map is changed for everyone. I will do my best to recover the map, but please just skip the parts you don't want to go to but do NOT change the map for everyone else. I just hope that I can restore it but I'm not sure how I am going to go about doing that.
